A WARNING THE UNBLUSHING IMITATOR AND HIS MOTORING VICTIMS Much hw bean laid by advocates of fair trade on the evita of substitution. Strenuoui effort has, in the last few years, been directed towards discouraging and preventing this evil. In spite of the rapid advancement which b»# been made, this great practice ha* taken on a new form in the manufacture and distribution of imitation ]>arti for repairs and replacement on automobile! and cycle*. Sales, of certain well-known makes, of car» have mounted well up into the hundreds of thousands. Here the pirates find a rioh field for tfeeir operations. That they are taking advantage of it is a well-known fact. On every hand dealers and distributors are found offering imitation repair parts for this or that make of; car. Especially is this the case with imitation parts and accessories for one very well-known make of car in New Zealand. Seldom, if ever, does * dealer who sells a certain make of car offer substitute parts for replacement. But other dealers and distributors do, and they are directly imposing a hardship upon the car user, for oftentimes the installation of an imitation part impairs the running qualities of the car and the owner is likely to put the blame on the car instead of the substitute part. The manufacturers of these arts are o(it to pirate the parts usiness. Price is their only sales argument. They assume no responsibility—their only aim is to make something that looks like the genuine and sells for less. Their mothods of manufacture do not permit of accuracy. If they did, prices would of necessity be higher than those of the original manufacturers. The average car owner knows very little about the parts which constitute the various accessories on his car. When his imitation part does give way, he often blameß—quite unjustly —the original manufacturer. However, "it is better to be sure than sorry," and the motorist who buys replacements for the car or motorcycle he U3e», should in every case be particular in securing the genuine product of the original manufacturer. In many cases these are stamped with the trade-mark of the maker; but not always. The safest way iB to buy only from the agent for the particular car in question, and to ask for a guarantee of genuineness.
